Columnist reveals top ‘predictable’ questions Harris ‘can’t’ answer’

Kamala Harris’ interview on Fox News this week highlighted the vice president’s struggle to devise “politically palatable” answers to questions a Washington Post op-ed suggests – while predictable – are “harder than they seem.”

Ramesh Ponnuru wrote in an opinion piece Thursday that Harris appeared evasive when questioned by Fox News anchor Bret Baier on the issues of “immigration, how she would govern differently from President Joe Biden, and her perceptions of Biden’s fitness over time.”

“She hasn’t offered explanations for her many flip-flops on the issues, either,” Ponnuru, a contributing columnist for the Post and editor of the conservative magazine National Review, added.

Ponnuru pointed out that the reason “neither she nor her advisers have devised better answers" is not because she is “mentally disabled” as her opponent former President Donald Trump has said on the campaign trail, but is likely due to there being "no politically palatable ones.”

“Any sitting vice president who runs for president faces some of these challenges,” he wrote. “You have to be your own person and distance yourself from unpopular aspects of the incumbent.”

Ponnuru noted that Harris still has to balance party unity and “avoid accusations of disloyalty and opportunism.”

“That may be why only one vice president, George H.W. Bush, has run for president successfully since 1837. Unfortunately for Harris, Joe Biden is no Ronald Reagan.”
